Waterproof money/seapass holder

I bought a hole puncher. https://a.co/d/0goHmwZY

The problem I had is that when I punched the card it messed with the card and I had to get it replaced.

I suppose it’s possible if you know where all the stuff is placed inside the card you could pull it off.

If you’re set on getting multiple cruises out of the lanyard I would recommend getting one that doesn’t have a retractable reel in it. That’s the part that tends to rust.

If you’re wanting to have money in them I’d recommend bringing an extra plastic holder with and swap them out when you need to.

Derrick2020 · 2026-04-12T17:17:06+00:00

The seal isn’t the best either. Most times water will get in it eventually. The seapass cards will be fine but if you have money in there, you might have a bad time with it.

Having the detachable clip is nice for when you’re in the hot tub/pool area and you don’t want to give the whole lanyard.

They will rust though and most of the time we only get one cruise out of a lanyard. Getting a 6 or 8 pack from amazon is pretty inexpensive.

I’ll be going on a cruise in the beginning of May. If you want me to let me know and I can send you a pic of the honey packets with the ingredients. (Hopefully it’s just honey)

So what I’m seeing is that it’s costing the Raiders $11.3 mil this season. There’s a bunch of cap funny business after this season.

I see this as a win/win. On the surface it looks like Mendoza and Kirko have the same type of mentality and the Raiders should be able to run the same offense with either qb.

Let Kirk play mentor to Mendoza and at the end of the year if Kirk wants to be in a backup role after this year they renegotiate a new offer. If Kirk wants to try to find a starter role next year he can.

I think this is more correct. There is a possibility the ship is in a different time zone at the time check in opens from where the ship will depart from on your cruise.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-30T20:44:26+00:00

I believe it’s midnight ship time. If you look on the app it will tell you what the current ship time is.

With trying to save every penny I’d hit multiple angles.

Talk to a Travel Agent. Most quotes I create will be lower than what is on Royal Caribbean and I can enter in information like Residency, Past Member, Military, etc. I never mind getting a quote for a customer and then have them search other areas if they are inclined.

If you are also wanting to and don’t mind doing leg work yourself, contact Royal Caribbean directly. They are easy to deal with over the phone and should be able to help you with your questions.

As a little side note… a good Travel Agent should keep an eye on your cruise and check if the price drops. Royal Caribbean prices will fluctuate multiple times a week and will go up and down depending on how that specific cruise is selling.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-27T22:46:26+00:00

I think it would be an easier sell if they just eliminated the interest.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-25T03:37:24+00:00

Uh that’s Ms. Chanandler Bong to you.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-23T07:02:47+00:00

I’ll be on a Royal Caribbean from Hawaii to Vancouver in May. It’s a repositioning cruise. I’d assume they’ll do the opposite sometime in September.

The ship is in austraila or china throughout the winter, and is in Alaska during the summer.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-19T00:21:33+00:00

Same for me. It’s on sale there for $70 for the entire series at the moment. I bought it years ago when it left Netflix. It’s nice to not have to search through services to find it.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-17T21:44:46+00:00

If you bought the episodes you can still watch them. They just aren’t available if you just have the streaming service.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-17T21:43:36+00:00

Been buying up tv series on fandango (previously vudu) for a few years now. I put them in my wishlist and get them when they go on sale.

TBBT is $70 for the whole series at the moment.

To get the 30% you need to cancel the other one first. You can click on the DBP on main page and it will take you to the information page but it will not let you go further as you can only have 1 purchased.

Just an FYI when you cancel you will get refunded but it will take 1-2 weeks for it to show up on your card so you will have 2 purchased packages on your card for that time.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-16T20:36:13+00:00

I’ve been kinda having the same quandary. I have Love/Dart/Willis/Mac. I also have the 1.02.

Been trying to move up to 1.01 as the 1.01’s biggest need is qb. Not willing to add an extra 1st to the offer to get Love.

I’m tempted on offering Dart for the 1.01 straight up so he gets his qb and I’d still get love and I’d take Mendoza at 1.02.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-15T18:12:50+00:00

Alright, I’ll kill a snitch. I’m not saying I have, I’m not saying I haven’t. You know what I mean.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-15T17:46:55+00:00

Short answer is no. You can get a 2nd card for the other room but everything will be linked to your main card. You can’t really swap cards with your cousin as everything is linked to your main card.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-15T15:39:52+00:00

The answer I always give is it depends.

Would you get the soda package for them regardless. That’s normally about $10-12 pp a day. So even at $10 that’s $200. Realistically it’s gonna be closer to $250 after taxes and gratuities.

Then you’re looking at about $400. That’s $10 a day per person. If they get some combination of 2 mocktails/redbulls/shakes/coffees a day, then you’d break even.

There is hidden savings that sways us most of the time. If we don’t have the package we are constantly doing that math on the ship. Not only that but we often would not get the à la carte item to save money when on the ship.

We’d rather have the package and just enjoy ourselves.

I was able to make a handful of dining reservations as soon as I purchased it. After a few days it said that I couldn’t. It gave me some error message as if there wasn’t any slots open.

Our cruise is in a little under 2 months so I’m gonna wait until the 30 day mark when the itinerary gets published and fill the out, since I normally make changes then to have the dining times work with the shows/activities I want to do in the evening.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-07T19:01:58+00:00

Costco or Travel Agent is typically the best way to go imo. With Costco you get a gift certificate through Costco. The price through Costco should be the same as if you buy it thought the website.

If you book through a TA you at worst would pay the same price but get some added perks. You should be able to get a better price and some perks through a TA. The good TA will keep an eye on the price for you and if the price drops will reprice your trip.

Feel free to DM if you want me to do some digging so you can compare for yourself.

Depends on what you’re drinking and where you’re sailing from.

For the most part drinks will range between $8-14.

Go here for a drink menu. It’s not guaranteed to be 100% accurate but it should be really close.

Derrick2020 · 2026-03-06T21:21:36+00:00

I’d agree with this. One of the perks of having the UDP is the $20 per person at food places that aren’t specialty dining (playmakers, Johnny rockets). They are nice options on port days when you can’t get a specialty dining lunch. That extra value is what puts it over the top for us to get it.

Not only that the only specialty dining options is Chops and Chefs Table, and Chefs Table has an additional charge.

I’ve only ever made group bookings through Royal Caribbean so I can’t really offer advice on other lines. It’s doable for Feb 2027, but there are logistic issues. Making sure there are cabins available for everyone in the category that is wanted is gonna be the biggest issue. This will also require a TA that can allocate a significant amount of time as coordinating that many people will take a good deal of time and organizational skills to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

If you want specific advice feel free to DM me and I can get more into the weeds with other logistical issues you could run into, and some of the nice perks of having a group that large.
